Slave ship nonsense

. . . There were no slaveships, that was a myth. If you brought cargo you would not pack them tight, one on top of one another. Remember, you can claim there was a “demand for ‘African slaves,’” so you wold have made sure that these people were in tip top condition, in perfect health. But let’s humor this notion for one moment. Human beings were packed tight on the bottom of a ship, to sail across the ocean, a trip that takes at least three months right. Now these humans eat right, how else would you keep them alive? After they eat, they urinate and pass feces, how did they survive? You’re talking about fifteen pounds of feces a day, not to mention urine, they would have drowned. So eliminate the slave ship story, it’s very illogical.
